Aqui no hay quien viva

The series is loosely based on Francisco Ibáñez's renowned comic strip "13, rue del Percebe", which also features a hilarious and disastrous group of neighbors living in the same building.

Emilio's most famous line, "Un poquito de por favor! (a little please!)" was brought to the character by Fernando Tejero himself. He said that line for the first time when he was an acting student, while asking for silence during a performance. He messed up with the words "un poquito de silencio, por favor (a little silence, please!)". The quote has since become his trademark and a very popular line in Spain.

Due to the huge success of the show, the network keep ordering more episodes in season 3, making a 33 episodes season that lasted from October 2004 to June 2005. Several actors had complained of the exhausting shooting pace, receiving scripts the night before filming and shooting sometimes an 80-minute episode in 3 days.
